Thanks to Chris for flagging up the substantial stock of 70s-style wallcoverings over at the UK Wallpaper website.

And if you’re looking for something bright, bold and unmistakably 70s, there should be a paper for you here. The once pictured to your right is described as ‘Brown, Yellows and Orange’, though confusingly, you can get it in different colours, with each available with a border.

And if you want to know what the papers might look like in your retro home, there’s even ‘period’ pictures for some of the designs. Prices vary, with the one featured here being £14.99 per roll.

Another vintage classic to impress your friends with – the Atollo table lamp by Vico Magistretti.

Magistretti designed this lamp in 1977 – and 30 years later, it still looks ahead of its time. There’s a range of lamps available, with either  black or white lacquered aluminium body or white glass if you prefer. And there’s a diffuser with a dimmer to control the light. Oh yes – and bags of style.

Available from SCP, prices start at £325.

A true icon of 20th century design, the Serpente table lamp by Elio Martinelli is still available over 40 years after its first appearance.

Designed in 1965 for Martinelli Luce, this snake-like table lamp features a swivelling metallic upper arm and a rounded white opal methacrylate diffuser, responsible for that very bright glow.

Sat in many modern design museums, it can be sat in your living room for £450.
